Method Details

### __init__(self, point, direction) (Constructor) |
Parameters: `point` (Scientific.Geometry.Vector) - any point on the line `direction` (Scientific.Geometry.Vector) - the direction of the line

### distanceFrom(self, point) |
Parameters: `point` - a point in space Returns: `float` Overrides: GeometricalObject3D.distanceFrom (inherited documentation)

### projectionOf(self, point) |
Parameters: `point` (Scientific.Geometry.Vector) - a point in space Returns: Scientific.Geometry.Vector the projection of point onto the line

### volume(self) |
Returns: `float` or `NoneType` the volume of the object. The result is `None` for unbounded objects and zero for lower-dimensional objects. Overrides: GeometricalObject3D.volume (inherited documentation)
